Wet sump vs. Dry sump I know tht wet sump holds oil and dry sump uses a oil container seperate from the engine. Dry sump supposedly pumps oil into the engine. Better for racing and roadcoarse.
But what are the physical engine diff? As in crankshaft, oil pan etc. I have a ls3 6.2 corvette tht im workin on for a buddy. We gotta install a new engine. His is dry sump setup. They are more costly than a wet sump. He doesnt do much racing anyways.
Can a wetsump be installed in its place instead of dry sump? I do my own custom tuning for codes etc. The wet sumps are alot cheaper as well. Are cranks diff for wet vs dry? Any help would be appreciated thanks.

So my understanding for this to work. We just need to order a wet sump 6.2 ls. Thin just remove all the dry sump oiling setup from the car. And add a wet sump corvette pan to the new 6.2.
Is this all correct? Can we get a 6.2 from a ss camaro or truck and add a corvette wet sump pan to it? Anyone have a pan for sale? Crank balancer would be diff as well correct? Thanks for the help.
